Hi,

Thanks for replies.

Yes, this was the point I was trying to make. It is not just a MusixTeX problem.
I was assuming that MusixTeX uses a LaTeX routine/font? to draw lines and asking
if anyone knew what it was. Sorry if I wasn't clear. (However, see the new info
below which now leads me to believe it's an xdvi problem).

Yes.

kpsexpand '$TEXMF' 
gives !!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf

that is correct.

NEW INFO.

My previous message was sent because no lines appeared when I viewed the .dvi
file on screen using xdvi (in Linux).  However, I have now found that, if I
convert to a postscript file (using dvips ) then ghostview shows all the
expected lines on screen and these will print from the .ps file. 

So at least I can now get on but I'd still like to get the screen view of the
.dvi file sorted out. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful.

Previous message:-

I recently downloaded and installed teTeX 1.0 (previously used 0.4).

I now find that dvi output from PMX/Musixtex is totally devoid of lines. All
noteheads, clefs and text are there but no stave lines no barlines and no stems
on notes. I think the problem lies in teTeX rather than Musixtex 'cos I tried
processing the PMX file ref210.tex which I think has lines on it but I got none. 

What part of my instalation should I look at to find the problem?  How does
Musixtex do lines?

Please help if you can.
